This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Oh mirror mirror, your'e coming in clear

I'm finally somewhere in between

I'm impressed what a beautiful chest

I never meant to make a big scene

Will you resign to the latest design

You look so messy when you dress up in dreams

One more for hire, a wonderful liar

I think its time we should all become clean

Your teary eyes, your famous disguise

Never knowing who to believe
